Karen Andrew MP: Update – M1 Upgrade

I wanted to provide you with a brief update on our campaign to upgrade the M1 through to Tugun.

Our online petition has had a fantastic response - please continue to ask those who share our concerns about congestion on the M1 to sign on here.

I recently wrote to the Federal Ministers for Transport and for Urban Infrastructure, requesting a meeting when Parliament resumes to update them on our community campaign and to stress the vital importance of further upgrades.

I know the Federal Government is very willing to work with the State Government on infrastructure priorities - and it is essential that the M1 from Varsity to Tugun is recognised as an urgent priority and fast-tracked. I'll continue to work with my State colleagues to put pressure on the State Government to prioritise the M1.

I will keep you posted. In the meantime, I invite you to sign on to receive a brief monthly "90 Second Update" that will keep you informed on a range of local and federal matters.

As always, feel free to contact my office on 5580 9111 if I can be of assistance on any Federal issue.
